Pay It Forward

Sesame Street lets me know every morning that "connections make like meaningful." Yesterday, I was blessed to be part of one such connection.

Emma got the first half of both of her flu shots yesterday morning. On the way home from the doctor's office I decided to stop at the grocery store to pick up a few items. This was a risky decision because Emma was very teary from the stinging needles. Upon entering the store she calmed down and enjoyed the people watching. One of the items on my list was oatmeal, so we found the aisle and pulled our cart up next to a sad looking elderly gentleman. I smiled and nodded at him and proceeded to figure out which flavor I felt like purchasing. Several seconds later I turned to see Emma with the hugest smile on her face and waving at the gentleman. I looked at him and he also had a large smile on his face. He then turned to me and said "I was having the worst day and your daughter just made it so much better, thank you."

It might not sound like much, but it really made me feel good (even though it was all Emma's doing and not mine). As we were leaving the aisle I gave Emma a kiss on her head and told her I was proud of her and that I loved her (all the while trying not to tear up of course.)

Blogiversary

Today is my one year blogiversary! Can you believe it? Me neither! I honestly didn't think I would make it. I mean, this is about my third attempt at keeping up a blog. (Third I think... right Molly?) Looking back over the year my blog hasn't changed drastically but it has definitely turned into something I enjoy doing. It's not one of those blogs that has a specific purpose or even a niche audience of readers... but that's the way I like it. It's simply turned into a journal of sorts for myself, so that I can look back and say "Ah, look what I was doing back then..." I enjoy the occasional comment from my family and friends but I don't strive for them or get disappointed when I don't receive any. Overall, I'm pretty happy with where is it right now and as long as I still enjoy posting I will keep blogging :) Love to all!

Happy Birthday Kensington!
